Which is exactly my problem with the OP, except its even worse because he groups us all in there.

And I.T.O VIDEOGAMES (!) I am CERTAINLY more intelligent than a casual gamer. Most people on this site can make faaar better choices than for instance my brother who bought a PS3 with some old crappy shooter today...At least he got LA Noire, oh well...

I'll ask again to rather adress my points than trying to bash my ego, because I don't really care if you think I'm full of myself.

EDIT:

 ''No. You didn't 'tear apart' anything because your points were not particularly good.''

 This is a big world and I am too lazy to look where you come from, but maybe you should consider that people have different definitions of phrases, so if yours doesn't fit mine (which I supplied), then there's no point going on about it is there? 

EDIT 2:

Barbados eh. Well, I love cricket and weed, but this thing between us just isn't going to work out.


Yeah...I know what 'tear apart" means. There's no different meaning.

"I.T.O VIDEOGAMES (!) I am CERTAINLY more intelligent than a casual gamer."

How so? If you think a game like, say, WiiFit is shovelware crap but a 'casual' gamer chooses to buy it because it's the kind of experience he/she is looking for, how does that make him/her less intelligent than you?

Your choice is based on what you want to play and his/her choice is based on what he/she wants to play. Your preference regarding videogames does not reflect your intelligence.

BECAUSE I DIDN'T WASTE A TON OF MONEY ON DUKE NUKEM LIKE SOME OTHER PEOPLE THAT DON'T FOLLOW THE VIDEOGAME SCENE.

You have no right to throw Wii-fit into the argument. In fact, you are not even arguing against me as I have made no statements implying the opposite. Also, I have never excplicitly called myself a 'hardcore gamer' as I think using this terminology is lame and uncecessary.

NOW IF YOU SAY THERE IS NO BENEFIT AS A CONSUMER TO KNOWING THE VG INDUSTRY WELL THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!?

EDIT:

''Your choice is based on what you want to play and his/her choice is based on what he/she wants to play. Your preference regarding videogames does not reflect your intelligence.''

So you are ACTUALLY saying that the choices some of the guys that have been on this website for 3/4/5 years are NO better than someone who casually buys a PS3!? I am sorry, but the WHOLE point of VG websites is disappearing before my eyes.

When I was 11 I made a major mistake in my life. It was Christmas, and I had had my PSOne for a year and a half or so. Games were VERY expensive and I got maybe 5 or 6 per year. I made the unfortunate decision of buying 'Tomorrow Never Dies'. My dad wasted a big chunk of cash on that steaming pile of crap, SIMPLY because I couldn't make a better decision due to lack of knowledge. If you don't see how this happens in the gaming industry, or your convoluted use of the word 'intelligence' is standing in the way of you realizing this simple fact then I think this discussion is rather meaningless.

You know, I'm not even sure if you read everything I write.
